While this Phil Jurkovec news may come as a surprise to some, there had been rumblings throughout the season that this was a possibility. However, the rumblings seemed to go away towards the end of the season. Although he is not one-hundred percent certain to transfer just because he entered the transfer portal, it is very likely.
There could be a number of different reasons for him to make this decision — one of which being that starting quarterback Ian Book deciding to return for a fifth year.
Despite a shaky first half of the season, Book played very well to end the season, and after making his decision, there wasn’t much arguing that he was going to be the starter come next season.
